RAD-140, or Testolone, is one of the most potent SARMs, specifically used for bulking, gaining muscle mass and strength. Due to its strong anabolic effects, Testolone is also more suppressive than other SARMs.
This SARM can be used for cutting cycles in stacks. However, if the bodybuilder uses RAD-140 only on a cutting cycle, the results will be average, as it’s not its primary use.

RAD-140 by NEO SARMs — Description
Testolone is the selective androgen receptor modulator with a refined anabolic profile, designed for increasing or retaining muscle mass, and strength gains.
Testolone binds to androgen receptors in muscle tissues, acting selectively and avoiding interaction with different hormone receptors. The SARM can be detected in doping control tests: therefore, it’s not recommended for professional athletes right before the competition.
RAD-140 Effects
RAD-140 is primarily used for muscle mass improvement (on average, 8 to 12 lbs per cycle) and enhancing strength (around 25 lbs). Whereas on a calorie deficit, Testolone can help bodybuilders lose around 3-5% of fat.
However, there are additional effects RAD-140 has to offer:
- Improving cognitive function;
- Boosting recovery;
- Enhancing endurance.
It’s not recommended to use only RAD-140 on cutting cycles. Bodybuilders can achieve better results if they combine RAD-140 with MK-677 or MK-2866, where Testolone will be mainly responsible for lean muscle gains, enhanced performance and cosmetic effects (such as “dry” look, vascularity).
The results are dose- and cycle-length-dependent. RAD-140 cycles typically continue from 6 to 10 weeks due to moderate testosterone production suppression. Bodybuilders can evaluate the first results as early as one week into the cycle.
RAD-140 Side Effects
Even though RAD-140 is one of the most powerful SARMs, it is well-tolerated, if the standard maximum on the dosage or cycle length isn’t exceeded.
Still, Testolone can cause some side effects. The most frequent ones are testosterone suppression, joint and muscle pain, and an increased aggression.
Decrease in testosterone production is common in using Testolone. However, it can be managed with post-cycle therapy. Testosterone suppression starts at the end of the cycle (6-8 weeks in). If the symptoms associated with suppression occur before, the dosage is too high:
- Brain fog (clouding of consciousness);
- Lethargy;
- Decreased libido.
Joint and muscle pain can be unpleasant, but the reason behind them is inherently good for gains. To put it simply, the muscle tissue grows faster than it would naturally, so the joints fall behind, causing soreness while trying to keep up with the increased weights and workout intensity.
Some bodybuilders record other side effects. They are not as common and there’s no studies to prove the correlation between them and RAD-140. Nevertheless, there are anecdotal reports of Testolone causing:
- Sleep disorders;
- Headaches;
- Nausea;
- Water retention;
- High blood pressure;
- Fatigue;
- Mood swings.
The compound is metabolized by the liver. However, in recommended dosages and without pre-existing health contradictions, it doesn’t cause an increase in liver enzyme levels.
It’s important to note that most of these side effects can be caused by overly high dosage of the compound, extended cycles or using SARMs with low purity.
